I have a Sony Vaio, which has a Pentium III-M, and I've been using "-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" from the beginning with great success.
Yes, I was previously using a coppermine-based celeron laptop, and had success with -march=pentium3.
The tricky part is that the pentium-m is not the same as a pentium 3-m, or a pentium 4-m. It is it's own, new, arch that has capabilities similar to the pentium 4-m, but with much better power management, and a greatly reduced clock speed (1.3GHz p-m roughly equals a 2.0GHz p4-m)
I've further thought about my question, and pose these further questions: Should I just do an -mcpu=pentium4 (assuming I have gcc version 3.2.3 or higher to fix the sse2 bugs)? Would I be safe with an -march=pentium4 (and would there actually be any benifits to this over -mcpu). The capabilities I believe are the same (sse2, etc), just with extra power management support built in.
Also: Please keep replies on-list, as the archives can be indexed by google and other search engines for others. But feel free to cc me if you want.
